Introduction

Success affirmations are those
positive statements that become your mantras and lead you to the
ideal lifestyle.

With their help you’re using the
power of your subconscious mind to believe in yourself more and
create abundance and prosperity around you.

All that happens on the inside first,
before you can see changes in reality. That’s how affirmations
work. But how to do them effectively?

Here are some things to keep in mind
when writing and using powerful affirmations and creative
visualization.

7 Ways to Make Success Affirmations
Work For You

1. Truly want it.

Get clear about what you truly want
in life. Write down your dreams and goals, but also your fears and
insecurities as these are things you don’t want.

Then, once you’re honest with
yourself, create a list of the statements that – when they come
true – will give you all the joy, contentment and purpose in life
you’ve always wanted.

2. Make them specific.

Turn these into crystal clear success
affirmations so that you’ll be able to visualize them vividly.

Give it a deadline, add numbers (like
how much you want to make a year from now). And any other detail that
will help you have a clear picture in your mind and see yourself
successful.

confidence with 100 positive affirmations.

3. Add a definite desire.

According to Napoleon Hill,“A burning desire to be, and to do is the starting point
from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born in
indifference, laziness or lack of ambition.”

“There is one quality which one
must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the
knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.”

He emphasizes that hope and wish are
not strong enough to describe what is needed to achieve success. What
he calls a definite desire is something so powerful that it can
change reality.

Strong belief is essential if you
want to improve. It is connected with certainty.

4. Have faith.

That’s another part of the equation
that helps you use affirmations effectively.

Not only do you need to believe in
your goals and desires, but you also should have faith that
everything will be fine and that things will turn out in the best way
possible.

5. Be confident when saying an affirmation.

Say the affirmation words out loud to
make them work for you, but also add conviction. Use the mirror
technique – look at your reflection while saying the positive
statements in the most confident way.

Body language helps here too.

6. Repeat them.

“Repetition of affirmation of
orders to your subconscious mind is the only known method of
voluntary development of the motion of faith.” – N. Hill

This is the principle of
auto-suggestion. Repetition is a key factor, as it will make you
think of your goal all the time and won’t let you lose focus.

Affirmations can be repeated
(preferably aloud) during meditation, or in front of the mirror as a
part of your morning routine. For best results, you have to be
relaxed, concentrated on what you are saying, confident, and to
really believe it.

7. Visualize.

Success affirmations become even more
powerful when you picture your desired result.

To visualize is to see your desire as
it has already come true, to picture what you want in detail, to
think you are successful, to feel that way. To be able to imagine the
change you want to see is what makes it real.

To hope and wish for something is not
enough, you need to have this definite desire we’re talking about
and visualize it every day. It must be strong, and the image must
be vivid, so that they can reach your subconscious.

So that’s how you use powerful
success affirmations effectively to achieve your goals in life.

Let's get to the action part then.
